Who is the original designer?

At first I thought it was bargello, but then I found the exact same thing on indusmart. I doubt either one of them designed this shalwar kameez, so does anyone know who the original designer is?

both bargello and indusmart are copy machines, not design centers at relatively high prices.

Thanks ladies. Ziggy do you know if Zahra Ahmed has a website? I am looking to buy a mehndi outfit to wear at my best friend's wedding and I will not have time to buy anything from Pakistan as I'll only be getting there a week before the wedding. Is there anyway to contact her via email/phone? Or does anyone know any other designers who design mehndi outfits like hers?

considering that they are imitating other designers' designs, one would expect them to at least charge less for them. anyways, do you know if saree max or bharat plaza are selling their original designs or just copying them off some designer? I didn't find the sarees they are selling anywhere else.

^ As far as i'm aware she has no website - her designs are pretty unique and her mehndi outfits are pretty well known in Lahore. I'll see if I can find her details for you, but please keep away from Bargello!

yes! zahra ahmad is the name

lol got mixed up with zara shahjahan

fasaadi · Mar 29th, 2009, 12:48 AM

anyone know who made these?! i'm in love with these outfits!

ziggy · Mar 29th, 2009, 06:31 AM

^ i'm not sure who the top outfit is by, but the one below definitely seems to be Bunto Kazmi. I recognise the border work on the duppata, the kamdani on the shirt and the chat patti on the gharara.

thank you dawn. i emailed them a few times but have gotten no reply so far. there are no reviews about them anywhere online either. a fellow paklinks member has ordered a saree from them and i am hoping i can get her input about them once she gets her order.
